“Bridges in control”- Montorie Bridges won his wrestling match on February 16 and hopes to remain in control for the Big 12 CHampionships on March 7.
Montorie Bridges came out against a worthy opponent, he was able to separate himself from his opponent and wrestle a solid match.
I took pictures at the UW wrestling event on February 16th. I learned about the wrestling event because I am very connected to all the sporting events at the UW. I am a Resident Assistant in White Hall which houses the majority of our athletes. I like to encourage and keep up with and support my residents. This match I specifically went out to show support for Stephan Buchanan. Watching the events is exciting for me and for the viewers. I would get involved in rooting for our wrestler that I would forget to take the shots. Looking at this picture, I am frustrated that I did not get up and move to try to get the other photographer out of the shot. Trying to edit her out just distorted the picture.
“Sudden Victory for Hastings” – Hayden Hastings hopes to continue to take down his opponents in the the Big 12 Championships on March 7.
I found the most exciting match of the day was the 174-pound one. Hayden Hastings ranked 11th rallied from five points down in Sudden Victory to beat Billy Higgins 8-6. It was exciting to see in the last half minute Hastings gaine the reversal to fuel his comeback. He was only able to tally an escape in the second which meant he trailed 6-4 going into the final period. Hastings was able to get a point in the third because Higgins’ had a second stall warning. Hastings earned a Riding Time point to kick the match into overtime. WIth 34 seconds left in the extra frame giving the POKES a 10-0 lead.
“OSU Stopped by Buchanan”- Stephan Buchanan wins 8-6 at the February 16th wrestling match. He hopes to continue halt at the Big 12 Championships on March 7.
Stephan Buchanan stopped Oklahoma with an 8-6 win. He beat no. 12 ranked Dakota Geer to end his six-match winning steak. It did not stop there, heavyweight Brian Andrews was able to add to the celebration with a 15-0 technical fall against Austin Harris.
“Moody is in a good mood!”
After Cole Moody received a major decision over his opponent he was in a good mood.
165 Cole Moody impressive at 165, earning a 13-3 major decision over Jordan Robison. Moody used the strength of three takedowns and a four-point nearfall early in the third to help power his way to victory. Moody also notched over three minutes of riding time in the win.
I took pictures at the UW wrestling event on February 16th. I learned about the wrestling event because I am very connected to all the sporting events at the UW. I am a Resident Assistant in White Hall which houses the majority of our athletes. I like to encourage and keep up with and support my residents, specifically Stephan Buchanan. While watching the wrestling match it is exciting, your adrenalin gets pumping. There are not as many people in the stands as there are at the football games but the excitement is palpable.
I was so into watching the match, there were times, I forgot to take pictures. I was frustrated that I couldn’t get objects out of my shot. While trying to edit the figures out of the background, it distorted the image. The creative devices I used to get the shot was editing and stop motion.
“Tyler at Work” – RA Tyler working. There are more that 84 RA on the UW campus.
I took this picture while roaming campus looking for that amazing shot. Then I saw my buddy Tyler, and I said to myself, there is a story there. Did you know that there are over 84 Resident Assistants at the University of Wyoming? The job is not easy and there is a lot of responsibility that goes along with it. Tyler is pictured here working while others are able to kick it with friends or work on homework.
Do I wish I would have had some amazing picture, yes, but like I said there is a story here. Many RA’s work while others play. Sometimes there is a feeling of missing out, or isolation. I would have liked to have gone behind the desk and shot the photo with action behind the glass. That would have been great. No special devices were used to capture the shot. I couldn’t decide if I should zoom in on just Tyler at work or allow the story of him being at work at the university of Wyoming be understood by leaving the posters etc. in the shot. Obviously, I went with the more colorful shot because I relate to that story. I think there’s more of a story there.
